Requisite Variety: Collected Short Fiction by Lior Samson

By Lior Samson

Here in one volume of provocative science fiction is the collected short fiction of Lior Samson, including eight published short stories-all out-of-print, difficult to find, and mostly published under various pseudonyms-and sixteen previously unpublished works. The stories are linked by more than common authorship. They are investigations of the intersection of people and the technology people create and use. With humor and tragic perspective they examine human experience in a world of created conditions. Many are unabashedly romantic, even when they are cynical. They celebrate human beings and being human. They laud learning and the endless cycle of discovery. And they caution. Even as they elevate technology, they warn against na ve acceptance of what too easily and too often passes for progress.
